Lyrics

Gideon
If he loved you like I love you
I would walk away in shame,
I’d move town, I’d change my name.
When he watches you…
When he counts to buy your soul…
On your hand his golden rings,
Like he owns a bird that sings.

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings.

The priest has said my soul’s salvation
Is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion.
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings.

Meg
And after 15 years gone what makes you think you can say these things to me?

Gideon
Because I thought of you every day for 15 years. Tell me it wasn’t the same for you.

Meg
It wasn’t.

Gideon
I’m still in love with you.

Meg
I have a home. I have a son.

Gideon & Meg
I’m gonna find a place to live,
Give you all I’ve got to give. (When we dance)
I’m gonna love you more than life,
If you’ll only be my wife. (Angels will run and hide their wings.)
I’m gonna love you night and day,
I’m gonna try in every way. (When we dance)
I’m gonna find a place to live,
Give you all I’ve got to give. (Angels will run and hide their wings.)
I’m gonna love you more than life,
If you’ll only be my wife.

Gideon
If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at Heaven’s gate,
I’d take these hands
And I’d destroy the dark machineries of fate.

Cathedrals are broken
And Heaven’s no longer above,
Hellfire’s a promise away,
I’d still be saying I’m still in love,
I’m still in love, I’m still in love…

Arthur
He won’t love you like I love you,
He won’t care for you this way,
He’ll mistreat you if you stay.

Gideon & Arthur
Come and live with me,
We’ll have children of our own,
I will love you more than life,
If you’ll only be my wife.

Gideon & Meg, Arthur
When we dance (I’m gonna love you night and day)
Angels will run and hide their wings (I’m gonna try in every way.)

When we dance (When we dance)
Angels will run and hide their wings. (Angels will run and hide their wings.)

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings.

Arthur
I’m gonna build a place to live,
Give you all I’ve got to give.

I’m gonna love you night and day,
I’m gonna try in every way.
I’m gonna build a place to live,
Give you all I’ve got to give.

I’m gonna love you more than life
If you’ll only be my wife.
I will love you
More than life
If you’ll only…

Meg
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings.

Angels will run and hide their wings.

Gideon & Meg, Arthur
When we dance.

Gideon
I had a dream last night.
I dreamt you were by my side.
I had a dream…
